2cc 0 Posted November 18, 2005 How interesting. My 1990 16V has got female threads on the rack (original and I have the part number somewhere) I wonder if your rack has been changed at some time and may not be the right one? I'm sure someone with fully functional ETKA could identify for you if you gave them the chassis No. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
